A good handgun

Nah...that's a .25.

It's a good gun while learning the fundamentals.

I got the Colt auto .25 and love it. Not too much of a packing a punch but it does meet the first rule of a gun fight, bring a gun.

Been in the market myself.... not lookin to go over $500 and I'm a lefty.

Had my eye on the Taurus 1911.... I like that it's got ambi safeties and has a lot of aftermarket products available... I want to switch the grips up to make it a little more "me".

Anyone fired one of these? Thoughts?

 

[YankeeVol]

a safety is over-rated

I've got the standard PT1911 and have no complaints. 1911 purists (or brand snobs in general) like to bash Taurus. (and in truth some of their offerings aren't well thought of) Generally speaking though most of their revolvers are pretty well accepted and I've read many forms where people are happy with their 1911's.

I've had one stovepipe (some cheap off-brand ammo I can't even recall the name of) and otherwise no FTF or FTE. If you find one at a good enough price go for it.

bump.

never really worked out getting a gun over the summer, but i'm looking into it again now. This is the main one i am looking at now:

Taurus 1-920151SPL PT92 9MM SS SLIDE/BL $439.00 SHIPS FREE

I'm still open to the .22 idea since it would be so much cheaper. planning to look for one i might like, but idk if i would get it over the 9mm.

 

[NewToVolCountry]

Noice. A lot of .40s can be converted to .22. Look for a conversion kit for that model. Probably pick it up for 100 or less and you'll save that in ammo

 

[Indianavol4eva]

only 40 i've looked into is this:

Taurus PT100 40SW 5" Blue, 11 round $453.00 SHIPS FREE

 

[Indianavol4eva]

still open to any suggestions, especially for a solid .22.

I would assume you can get a 9 to 22 conversion kit, too.

I'm going to start looking hard for a gun this summer and then make a purchase after christmas. Think I am either going to get the sig p229, colt 1911, or, if I really go all out, USP .45. It's going to take a lot of plasma to get any of those haha

 

[vol_in_ar]

I have a Smith and Wesson .22 semi automatic, I've shot thousands of rounds through it and never had an issue...

 

[YankeeVol]

USP 45 is a real mans gun

I didn't read the whole thread, but, what is reason for buying? If it's just to have something to shoot, go with the .22. Hell, even for personal protection it should be fine around the house.

If it's something you plan on carrying daily, I would recommend some kind of compact .380 or 9mm. My favorite brand is Sig Sauer.

If you just want something to brag about and show off (the real reason I buy guns) I recommend the Colt .45 M1911.

 

[DD4ME]

Ron didn't you do a film about a gun with Angelina Jolie?

 

[ShanMan]

Late to the party, so I'm waiting to see the purpose of the purchase as well.

 

[ImTheCrew]

Why the **** you need a gun white boy

 

[Slydell]

Maybe he's going to party in Chatt. I hear you need one for that.

 

[ImTheCrew]
